Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house will make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
